3D Printing Tips – From Model to Print • Save your model as an stl. • Load the stl file on Cura or another slicing software. • Suggested printing temperatures for PLA filament o Nozzle: 210°C o Bed: 60°C • Make sure you have selected the printer and material you will be using in the top right. You will be using PLA for almost everything you print • Check if your design needs supports. o Supports are needed if your design has parts that extend further than 45° from the vertical.
